Pickerington Area Taxpayers Alliance

I saw you in action

How can you condem another about lies when you yourself spread mistruths? I witnessed you firsthand at the CEDA hearings. I understand there is also a videotape of it. You implied that if Pickerington were not part of the CEDA it would hurt the PLSD. I don't believe the PLSD would be directly effected either way, in th eCEDA or not in the CEDA. BUT if Pickerington were able to honor the Wiser preannexation agreement, the Canal Winchester Schools would have been out a ton of cash due to the TIF that Pickerington promised to build him a road. Who put you up to speaking ''your'' mind. P.S. Congratulations on the cell tower and the fees to support the athletics at the high school.

Dear ''informed'',

Since you were there at the CEDA hearings, I'm sure you will not mind my posting both of my testimonial statements. It will reveal how misinformed you really are. Please keep trying. Being informed is really a good thing. I'm glad I could be of assistance.

You claim that I implied that if Pickerington were not part of the CEDA then the PLSD will be hurt. I did reference the 97-98, Violet Township, City of Pickerington and PLSD officials meetings where the necessity of cooperation in the Diley Road area was discussed with a verbal commitment given from both Township and City officials to cooperate in bringing about a Commercial/Industrial Park that would benefit PLSD. The failure of cooperation in this matter was and continues to be a big disappointment. I also spoke about high density that in my opinion does not belong in the CEDA area at all. I also referred to the same kind of thing potentially happening in my school district due to buffering requirements of the Violet Township Development Plan. In addition, I also addressed Article IV in the CEDA where the parties addressed school district protection. I pointed out that only the school districts are a party to this as authorized in the Ohio Revised Code. They made an agreement on something in which they are not a party.

I believe that leaving out the City of Pickerington in this CEDA was not good for our whole community. All may read on to see my comments in their entirety. As far as ''who put me up to speaking my mind'', I really don't need such a push. I am rather vocal all on my own. Maybe....I got it from genetics. Perhaps that is a gift I received from my father.
